Back in 1965 when everyone was dancing to Wooly Bully, a man called Floyd McRae set up a seriously cutting-edge photo lab in Toronto. A highly imaginative engineer with a sharp eye for detail, McRae’s soon garnered a reputation as one of the best image labs in the entire industry.
Forty years later, two visionary business partners stepped into the picture. Bob Murray and Richard Kisiel shared Floyd’s enthusiasm for innovation and his vision for the future. As the digital revolution took hold, McRae remains at the vanguard of new technologies.
Early adoption of state-of-the-art image generation techniques saw McRae seamlessly evolve into a world-class specialist company. Today, McRae remains at the very frontier of digital image production. Our reputation is global, with customers all over the world.
McRae’s global R&D team has kept us ahead of the latest advancements in Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. Our products remain matchless.
McRae manufactures everything in house. We develop proprietary fabrics, produce our own frames and lights, and design aluminium extrusions to precisely match our customers’
requirements, facilitating seamless installation.
An exclusive IMAGE DNA colour profiling process guarantees the most brilliant printed result with perfect colour matching. Unique state-of-the-art LED lighting technology, designed specifically for McRae lightboxes, delivers spectacular colour saturation.
Bob purchased the McRae business in 1997 as one of the most reputable photograph and colour labs in Canada. Bob’s vision into the new world of fabric printing was years ahead of others in the industry. This foresight set in motion McRae’s journey towards its current success as one of the North American leaders in digital textile printing. With over thirty years of management, business development, sales and marketing experience, Bob’s focus is devoting his personal attention and energy to the vision and strategy of business development with a dedicated, hands-on approach with clients and within the McRae family.

Doug has been passionate about getting the most out of images and their display his entire career. He has built his client relationships around listening carefully, and providing – or suggesting the best solution possible. His questionable golf skills have not kept him off the course, and he loves reading and listening to a deep, varied collection of music.
When she is not golfing or going to yoga, Katie can be found in her art room. She loves hosting ‘Raftis Craft This’ events working in all different kinds of mediums.
At McRae, community means much more than just belonging. It’s about bringing people together, making things happen, and taking whatever small steps we can to give something back.
